Good day! It seems like you have wet your mobile phone soaked in tea, here`s what you can do after you have got soaked:

✓ Take everything off
- It does sound natural for humans after being wet to take everything off and try to dry up, well, it suits find for the mobile phones too, make sure that you have completely dismantled all the components that you can remove for now especially the battery and for some notes, just don`t mind to turn off the mobile first, its fine

✓ Don`t press any key
- Having a contact to your keypads or keyboard will have an effect of electrocution to other circuit boards inside, remember, all the components on the mobile phone are sensitive enough. Please resist to press anything for now.

✓ Problems about built-in Battery
- as your part, you will have nothing to do with this, but if one time you encounter another mobile phone with built in battery, take a risk to press the power button to turn off the mobile phone

✓ Open all the slots
- Slots like SD Card Slot, Sim Slot, and many others to use it as ventilation for faster dry-up process

✓ Dry up with tissue or towel
- For the exterior part, you can use towels to dry them up for now to fasten up the dry-up process

✓ Bury the phone to rice-raw
- Burying the mobile phone to rice-raw will fasten up the drying process because of temperate temperature of the mobile phone, don`t place the mobile phone under the sun for more than enough hours, the circuitry as well as the case might be damaged.

Recommendation: • answer to the next problem: Do not find any indicators that your phone is damage as for now, indicators might need electricity that may cause damage to your mobile phone. Have also patience.

"The indicator for the battery is located on..."

In Samsung Galaxy III there are two water damage indicators. One is for the battery and the other is for the phone itself. The indicator for the battery is located on the side where the connectors are while the phone water damage indicator is located near the battery compartment. Originally when bought, these indicators are white X marks. These X marks when wet bleed turning to color red, pink or purple in your case. With this, we can conclude that you`re device is experiencing water damage. Here are some saving tips you can do. The earlier you get the water out of your device the higher the probability of saving it from damage. First, take out the battery and the sim from your device if there`s any. Get a clean cloth and gently wipe the battery and the phone including the connectors. Avoid shaking the phone when wiping it so as to prevent any single drop of water inside to spread to other parts of the device. Never use a hair dryer because it would also push the water inside instead use a vacuum cleaner but not too near the phone to avoid static electricity that could also damage your phone. After this, you should put your phone in uncooked rice overnight to drive out any remaining moisture in it. This is a proven and effective technique for many who have encountered this kind of problem. Hopefully this will help you.

There are three water damage indicators on the HTC desire located as follows:
1. Located directly on the battery, usually near the metal contacts that connect the battery to the phone (four of them). It will turn pink/red when exposed to water.
2. Located on the phone near to the metal battery contacts connect
3. Located inside the housing of the phone. With the phone face down and the back plastic cover removed (not just the battery cover, but the entire phone shell) the indicator can be see on the left side of the phone about 3/4 of the way up from the bottom.

There are probably a few water damage/moisture indicators. Usually found in the battery compartment. This is likely the only one you can see without opening the phone right up. Others would be on the circuit board, inside the battery etc. This is how Samsung will be able to tell if someone has wet their phone but hasn`t admitted it as this usually voids the warranty. If you think Samsung won`t fix it, you can take it to a 3rd party phone service store (at your own risk).

I don`t know how much time past by since this happened, but even if you got water damage, you may be able to save it. You can take the phone apart and put the mother board in a bag of rice and keep it in there for a while and let it soak up all the dampness and then when you leave it in there for a while, then you might want to take a blow dryer and have it set on low blow and low heat and fry it, but not to close to the board. My daughter did this and she dropped in toilet. If you are afraid to use blow dryer then make sure you keep it in the rice for hours.

Even if the indicators are still white there could still be water in the phone. Try the rice in a bag oe bowl but also use a haie dryer for at least 5 minutes - until the phone is hot. I have done this on the advice of an electronics tech & it worked perfectly. My phone was saved.
